“Cristin was wonderful. She was kept us updated on their wellbeing -sending pictures periodically of them and even won over our timid pointer. We will definitely use her to watch our fur babies in the future”
“Erin took very good care of our babies. They are on a very strict morning schedule, they think they are starving to death, and one of them requires oral medication daily. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. They seemed very content when we got home and she even watered our outside plants for us as well so they didn’t die in the horrible July heat! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.
“Cathryn was awesome! She took care of our fur babies like if they were her own. We have some needy fur babies with a few medical issues, but she made sure that they took their medication and were cared for!! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sent tons of pictures and she took care of our home. We had some trouble with our return flights and she was very flexible and willing to stay an extra night to ensure that our pups were taken care of. We would totally recommend her and we are definitely booking her again!”
“Donovan always does an amazing job with our pups! He makes sure to always communicate with me throughout the visit and even bought my pups a treat (asking me first!) He makes sure my pups get the best care whenever he watches them! I would highly recommend him!”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
About: I have both personal and professional experience with dogs. Not only have I grown up with my own pets, but I also work at a kennel and doggy day camp. I’m working to become a service dog trainer, but have expanded my knowledge of dogs to include basic baths and nail trims as well. I currently work part time at a kennel, so I’m usually away from home for 4+ hours on Tuesdays. However, I have an amazing family who also has some experience watching other pets and they often help out when I need to leave for work. Pets aren’t often left alone for very long. I also work a few other days, but they are consistent hours. Should my clients board at my home, I have a fenced in backyard on a half acre, ensuring that dogs have plenty of space to run. I often continue my days as normal as possible if pets are present for consistency. They are under a close watch from a family member most of the time. When at a client’s home, I try to ensure that the dog’s routine is as stable as possible. I will sometimes take some time off depending on the length of the stay to be better present for the dog.
“Tara was Great!!! She watched our Newfoundland and our daughter's deaf and blind aussiedoodle. She kept us updated and of course with lots of pictures. When we got home we could tell they were well taken care of.”
“Nadia was an excellent sitter for us! She kept in communication with us, including sending photos of our dogs. We know she was with them, but she left our home in the same condition as when we left it’s like she wasn’t there! We appreciate her open communication, the love she provides to our dogs while we were gone and her overall attention to detail. Our dogs have medicine and some sensitive / anxious personalities and I never felt that Nadia was overwhelmed. She is excellent! I am so glad we have connected with her and we feel confident with her care.”
“Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. Taking care of them has been one of the greatest privileges I’ve had. I am always helping out and trying to train them! I also love taking care of my friend's pets as well. My dog is currently 11, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs as well. I have a part time job, so I have a lot of free time! I usually have mornings, afternoons, and evenings where I can work around my schedule. I have a very safe environment for my pets at home. I am able to follow any instructions or special accommodations your pets may need! I am willing to walk, play, feed, and give your pets all the love and care they want and need!
“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs in our home. She was great about sending updates and pictures throughout the week so we could be sure our dogs were doing well. She was also very responsive when we messaged her with questions. We would definitely use her again!”
“Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!”
About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. Since the age of six, I have always had one-often two-dogs in my home. Over the years, I have also cared for fish, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters and ball pythons. I've been fortunate to share my life with many wonderful dogs, including a Lhasa Apso, Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retriever, Boykin Spaniel, Yellow Labrador Retriever, Black and Tan Coonhound, Pit Bull Mix, and a Boxer. From puppy care and training to senior dog support, animals-especially dogs- have taught me patience, compassion, and responsibility. Now newly retired after a 30-year career in hairdressing, I have the time, energy, and love to dedicate fully to caring for pets as if they were my own. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they remain comfortable and stress-free in a familiar environment. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime and medication if needed. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting your home and your pet's unique personality and needs. I maintain a clean and safe space, monitor your pet's behavior and well-being, and communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages so you can fell confident and at ease while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and love I give my own
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I take my dog on walks and play with her constantly. I am currently in school right now and am looking to spend my winter and summer break taking care of animals! I am available almost everyday of the week! My family and I have a fenced yard and let my dog roam around while she does her business. I also take my dog on walks, rain or shine. I play with her and keep her entertained

Corensia is amazing with my high anxiety pup and is so helpful when I need a last minute booking. She plays and walks him, he is genuinely excited to see her every time she watches him! She has done overnights in my home as well as day sitting when I work. I absolutely love her
This was our first time using someone outside of family to care for our cats and couldn't be happier. Hailee was dependable, communicative sending regular updates and clearly comfortable caring for our fur babies. Coming home to well cared for cats and their clean environments made all the difference and will absolutely book with Hailee again. Highly recommend.
Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great
This was our first time using Rover, and Olivia was fantastic. She went above and beyond caring for our anxious dog, Luna, staying with her so she never felt alone. Olivia was also incredibly respectful of our home and left it even better than she found it. We’ll definitely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Fallon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in O'Fallon on Rover is $30.74 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Fallon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred O'Fallon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in O'Fallon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in O'Fallon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
